AMD EPYC Embedded 4005 Series processors address the unique demands of applications requiring low latency, efficient design, longevity, and affordability at the edge.
AMD has launched the EPYC Embedded 4005 Series, a line of processors designed to meet the rising demand for real-time computing performance, lower system costs, and longer deployment lifecycles. Building on the EPYC 4005 family, the embedded processors focus on network security appliances and entry-level industrial edge servers. These processors bring AMD’s proven server technology into the embedded market, highlighting scalability, reliability, and strong long-term support.
Performance Optimized
At the heart of the EPYC Embedded 4005 Series is AMD’s latest “Zen 5” x86 core architecture, offering up to 16 cores and 32 threads in a modern 4nm chiplet design. These processors are optimized for high-frequency performance and feature up to 128MB of L3 cache, providing quick response times for latency-sensitive tasks, such as network packet processing and real-time control systems in industrial applications. With a configurable thermal design power (65W–170W), system designers can adjust performance and efficiency to suit various embedded applications.
Support for AVX-512 enhances the suitability of AI-powered workloads by enabling efficient computation for inference tasks. These features position the 4005 Series as a flexible choice for emerging edge workloads without sacrificing performance per watt.
Longevity and Reliability
One of the key traits of embedded deployments is their need for longevity and resilience. AMD addresses this by offering a seven-year planned manufacturing lifecycle, which guarantees platform stability for customers committed to long-term solutions. Built-in RAS features, including DRAM ECC, on-chip ECC, and PCIe error detection, further protect availability and system reliability during extended deployments.
Design consistency also significantly impacts scalability. The EPYC Embedded 4005 series utilizes the established AM5 socket, enabling seamless integration across multiple product generations. This consistency lowers engineering overhead, accelerates time-to-market, and simplifies long-term maintenance for OEMs and solution providers.
Connectivity and Security
The processors support DDR5 memory at 5600 MT/s with a 128-bit width and sideband ECC, ensuring high bandwidth and data integrity. PCIe Gen 5 offers 28 lanes and 11 root ports, enabling flexible connectivity to high-speed networking, storage, or accelerator devices essential for modern edge systems.
